Top Five Spoon's Carpets

A new book released today discusses and appreciates our carpets.

Thanks to writer and broadcaster Kit Caless and his band of Wetherspoon carpet-spotters across the UK, Wetherspoon’s carpets became such a social-media talking-point that Kit was approached to write a book on the subject.

The book is entitled Spoon’s Carpets and features photographs and descriptions of over 75 carpets from Wetherspoon’s pubs across the UK. It may be purchased by clicking here.

Kit said about the book: “I am deadly serious when I say that I think that some of these carpets are genuine works of art.

“A cross-section of UK society visits Wetherspoon’s pubs – and it is rare for a company to spend so much money on design and artwork in working-class or normal spaces. I think that this should be celebrated.

“There’s a certain collectability about Wetherspoon’s pubs. Some people try to visit every one, while others will try to drink every different beer. I think that trying to capture all of its carpets in one place taps into that.”

Kit put together a special top-five group for the readers of Wetherspoon News – but you’ll need to buy the book for his real top ten!
